I've spent the past hour going through old posts on this blog and WOW. I've deleted so many of them because I would never want those words published to the Internet and someone think it was truth. I've kept a few too because it's really nice to see growth and be able to watch someone's [...]
New: The Sustainable Pet
I've been practicing zero waste for a year! I can't believe there was life before this. I grew up in a meat-eating trash-making household, like I'm assuming most of you did too.
